Military Moms Blog Real Estate Guide

The MilMB Real Estate Guide is a resource we have carefully curated with the distinct needs of military families in mind.

Military families tend to be experts at moving, but that doesn’t make a permanent change of station any less stressful. From the short timelines military families are given to the fact that we are often asked to move to a place where we know not a soul let alone understand the makeup of the city and its school districts, we intimately understand how important it is to have someone on our side who we can trust.

Our goal with this real estate guide was to hand-select real estate agents and lending firms who are not only dedicated to helping military families find the perfect home in their new location, but also who are flexible, respectful and have a firm grasp of the military lifestyle and its demands.

From knowing the ins-and-outs of VA loans to understanding the nature of permanent changes of station, these are people who we hope can make your next move your best one yet.
